In which we see Neymar, such is his wont, adding yet another dribbly slalom wonder goal to his ever swelling portfolio of dribbly slalom wonder goals on his 200th appearance for Santos (he’s 20) against Ronaldinho’s Atletico Mineiro last night after playing for Brazil against Japan in Poland the day before…

Is anyone not impressed with this kid?? Been following him all the way and he is just outstanding.

I believe he has what it takes to succeed in Europe. reminds me of how C.Ronaldo started but he’s more prolific from an early age. My only concern is of burnout. They parade him across the globe. Definitely needs some rest and protection.

This kid is something special, and so many want to try and nit-pick when it comes to Neymar.

I feel not even CR7 or the illustrious Messi could do some of the things he does CONSISTENTLY; in the video above, he flicks the ball behind him and megs the defender behind him…he does this quite often (with a lot of success), and honestly, when he pulls it off, I know 15-30 seconds later the opposition will be plucking the ball from the back of the net.

I fear the kid gets driven into the ground as well. That is a surefire way to pick up a lenghty injury. He is 20 years old and has already amassed 200 appearances for SFC?! That is a ton of football.

I pray he doesn’t go to Barca, City, RMCF, etc…but unfortunately, he is probably going to end up at Barca, City, RMCF, etc…

First touch is absolutely sublime. Nutmegs his defender with a backheel and then wins a 50/50 on his next touch. Probably wouldn’t get away with that against a formidable European team, but amazing nonetheless.

but I think the best thing for him would be to go to as big a club that he can get significant time on the pitch, and even better if its a more strong physical side to protect him. I’m biased as a Chelsea supporter but I believe he’d do really well with that squad
